Job Description

Talent Acquisition Resourcer – Specialist Recruitment Support

Job Overview

We’re looking for a highly motivated and experienced Talent Acquisition Resourcer to support a UK-based recruitment consultancy working on exclusive RPO contracts across engineering, clean tech, and scientific sectors. This is a vital back-office role focused on sourcing high-calibre candidates for niche, high-value roles – without any client-facing responsibilities.

You’ll be working closely with a UK leadership team who bring over 35 years of combined experience in global recruitment. They’ll manage client relationships while you focus on what you do best: finding exceptional talent. This is an opportunity to join a fast-paced, professional environment where your expertise in sourcing and headhunting will directly impact the success of long-term UK client engagements.

Key Responsibilities
* Source, identify, and qualify top-tier candidates for roles in engineering, data science, clean tech, and specialist sales.
* Conduct deep talent mapping and headhunting across the UK market, particularly in Bristol and hybrid-working environments.
* Use platforms such as LinkedIn Recruiter (RPS+) to proactively engage passive talent.
* Collaborate with the internal team to understand job requirements, timelines, and priorities.
* Present well-qualified candidate shortlists with clear justification for selection.
* Support the delivery of a high-volume hiring campaign (30 roles) over a 9–12 month period, scaling as needed.
* Keep records updated using simple tools like Google Sheets or the internal CRM.

Qualifications & Experience
* Minimum 3 years of experience in recruitment or resourcing, ideally within tech, engineering, or scientific sectors.
* Proven success in headhunting and passive candidate sourcing (not reliant on job boards).
* Prior international recruitment experience – specifically UK markets – is essential.
* Strong working knowledge of LinkedIn Recruiter or RPS+.
* Familiarity with using ATS or CRM systems; experience with Google Workspace preferred.
* Self-starter attitude with the ability to work independently and suggest creative hiring solutions.
* Reliable laptop, stable internet connection, and a professional home working setup.

Tips for South African Applicants

⏰

Timezone Advantage

South Africa (SAST, UTC+2) overlaps well with European business hours and has a few hours of overlap with US East Coast. Mention your timezone flexibility in your application.

💰

Salary in Context

Even without a listed salary, international remote roles typically pay 2-3x more than equivalent local positions in South Africa due to the exchange rate advantage.

📋

Application Tips

Tailor your CV to international standards — use a clean format, highlight remote work experience, and include your English proficiency. Many SA applicants succeed by emphasising their strong work ethic and cultural adaptability.

🔌

Load Shedding Preparedness

If you're applying for a remote role, having a backup power solution (UPS, inverter, or generator) and mobile data as a backup internet connection shows employers you're prepared for South Africa's infrastructure challenges.
